BAHM has been the proud host of Case Competitions since 2011. These events offer students the opportunity to develop solutions to a business challenge within an allocated time frame, to receive cash prizes, possible academic credit, and to meet students from other BAHM schools.
Competitions are hosted each year by a different BAHM school or a group of schools. Each member school selects students to represent it, or the students form international teams representing at least two different programs. While the competition format has varied over the years, students generally submit a written paper as well as deliver a formal presentation which is then judged by industry leaders. In the process, students have the unique opportunity to:
- Network with business peers and professionals
- Meet other graduate students from around the world
- Win first-, second-, and third-place and other prizes of up to $11,000
- Publish in BAHM’s Journal, Health Management, Policy & Innovation (www.hmpi.org)
